Edwin Diaz Injury Update: $69M Dodgers Star Gives Surgery Details and Progress
Five loose bodies were removed from his right elbow, and the Dodgers expect Edwin Díaz to return after the All-Star break.
- Dodgers closer Edwin Diaz underwent surgery last Wednesday to remove five loose bodies from his right elbow, targeting a return after the All-Star break in July.
- Although Diaz has carried bone and cartilage fragments since the 2012 draft, they only recently restricted his arm. 'Finding loose bodies was a best-case scenario,' Diaz said.
- During his April 19 appearance in Colorado, Diaz said, 'I was feeling tired and tight.' That performance prompted medical staff to order imaging, which identified the fragments.
- With the closer sidelined, the Dodgers will utilize relief pitchers Tanner Scott, Blake Treinen, and Alex Vesia for save opportunities. Jazz musician Tatiana Tate will pause her 'Narco' performances at Dodger Stadium.
- Diaz stated he is '100 percent' confident in his return. He will resume throwing in a couple weeks to prepare for the second half.
